There was a 2% decrease over 4 years. 30% to 28%. Hardly "shriveling."
And that 2% drop was probably people who will vote for Trump but didn't want the survey taker to know if
The 2% are the dead Republicans that refused to wear a mask to "own the libs"
Or just old bastards who have been voting for Reaganomics for forty years and can't figure out why the rich get richer and they can't afford healthcare.
Turns out conservatives love authoritarianism and just want to be ruled by a king.
Who would've thought the political ideology spawned to conserve the influence of landowners, aristocracy, and monarchy post democratic revolution would turn out to be such of bunch of auth dickholes?
Can we just lock journalists in cages until they memorize a gradeschool dictionary please?
maybe they were in the pool
